The use of computers creates many challenges as it expands the realm of the possible in scientific research and many of these challenges are common to researchers in different areas. The insights gained in one area may catalyze change and accelerate discovery in many others. This workshop is explicitly cross-disciplinary, with the goal of bringing together scientists from different areas to share their research and experiences of how computing is shaping their work, providing new insights and changing what can be done in science. The focus is on the research, and the technologies that make that research possible.

We would like to invite contributions from any area of eScience; examples include:

Modeling of natural systems

Knowledge discovery and merging datasets

Science data analysis, mining, and visualization

Healthcare and biomedical informatics

High performance computing in science

Innovations in publishing scientific literature, results, and data

The impact of eScience on teaching and learning

Applying novel information technologies to disaster management

Robotics in science

Scientific challenges with no obvious computing solutions

All registered attendees are invited to submit an abstract for consideration as a talk at the Workshop. Abstracts will be evaluated by the program committee and those not selected for presentation will be offered poster presentation as an alternative.

Deadline for Abstracts: August 1, 2007Notification of Acceptance: August 20, 2007
